FAQs

Yes, we offer trial classes so you can experience the atmosphere and decide if it’s the right fit for you.

For GI Sessions: If you’re attending a GI session for the first time (e.g., a trial), we can provide a GI and belt for you. Alternatively, you can bring your own plain white Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu GI, free of logos or patches that are not CorDees or CFS. Once you become a member, it is mandatory to wear the official CorDees GI (top and pants) and the correct grade belt to maintain consistency with our academy. Kids and youths can wear CorDees plain white Gis or their own plain white Gis, provided they meet the same requirements.

For NO-GI Sessions: If you’re attending a NO-GI session for the first time (e.g., a trial), we recommend that you bring your own training shorts and rash guard, free of logos or patches that are not CorDees or CFS. Shorts must be free of zips, pockets, buttons and anything sharp. You can wear a t-shirt if you do not have a rash guard or other compression top. Rash guards and shorts can be any colour for your trial session (only). Once you become a member, it is mandatory to wear the official CorDees rash guard (top). Teenagers and adults must also wear CorDees official shorts. You may wear black, white, or black-and-white spats (compression pants) underneath your shorts—no other colours are allowed, and spats cannot be worn without shorts. Kids and youths can wear black, white, or black-and-white training shorts (free of pockets, zips, and buttons) with any colour spats underneath.

Always ensure your attire is clean, suitable for training, and meets the dress code for the specific session.

Yes, we have classes for children of various age groups. We offer specialised programs for kids (ages 4-6), youth (ages 7-13), and teenagers (ages 14-19). These programs focus on building confidence, discipline, and self-defence skills.

We offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for kids as young as 4 years old. We have programs specifically designed for kids, youths, teenagers and adults, each tailored to their age group and skill level.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art primarily focused on grappling and ground fighting. It emphasises leverage, balance, and technique, allowing a smaller or weaker person to better defend themselves against a larger, stronger opponent. It is also known as “The Gentle Art.”

In our Kids (4-6 years) BJJ GI program, children will learn key Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques that help them defend themselves against bullies, while also developing inner confidence, self-discipline, and stronger bodies and minds. This age group trains in GI (using the CorDees or plain white Gi).

Kids will:

• Gain confidence and self-belief.
• Learn self-control and discipline over time.
• Master techniques for movement, rolling, and defending themselves, primarily when on the floor.
• Enjoy fun and engaging classes while learning important life skills.

The Youth (7-13 years) BJJ GI program teaches children the tools and techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for self-defence, confidence, and personal growth. This program uses the GI, and students must wear the CorDees GI when they become members.

Youth participants will:

• Learn self-defence techniques to protect themselves against bullies.
• Develop inner confidence and physical strength.
• Build discipline and self-control through regular practice.
• Master ground techniques such as movement, rolling, and fighting.

In the Teenagers (14-19 years) BJJ GI program, teens will learn the essential Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills to defend themselves, boost confidence, and develop discipline. The sessions use the GI, which must include the CorDees GI top, pants, and appropriate grade belt.

Teens will:

• Build self-confidence and self-belief.
• Learn effective self-defence techniques.
• Gain mental and physical strength.
• Train to be comfortable with challenges in a safe, fun environment.

The Teenagers (14-19 years) BJJ No-GI program provides training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu without the Gi, using CorDees rash guards and shorts. Teens will learn self-defence techniques, improve their fitness, and develop the mental toughness required in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Teens in the No-GI program will:

• Learn how to defend themselves in a variety of situations.
• Develop self-confidence, physical strength, and mental discipline.
• Have fun while mastering important martial arts techniques.

The Adults BJJ Gi sessions focus on traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training, where participants wear the Gi (uniform). These sessions emphasise techniques, strategy, sparring and discipline, catering to all skill levels—from beginners to advanced practitioners.
Adults in the Gi sessions will:

• Learn essential BJJ techniques for self-defence and competition.
• Develop mental toughness, discipline, and physical fitness.
• Practice grips, submissions, escapes, and positional control using the Gi.
• Enhance their problem-solving skills through live rolling in a supportive and safe environment.
• Wear the CorDees Gi, which includes the Gi top, pants, and grade-appropriate belt.

The Adults BJJ No-Gi sessions provide Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training without the traditional Gi, using CorDees rash guards and shorts. These sessions emphasise speed, agility, and adapting techniques to real-world scenarios or No-Gi competitions.
Adults in the No-Gi sessions will:

• Master effective grappling and submission techniques without relying on grips.
• Develop faster reflexes and improve their cardiovascular endurance.
• Learn self-defence skills applicable in everyday situations.
• Train in a dynamic, fun, and inclusive environment suitable for all skill levels.
• Use CorDees rash guards and shorts to meet training requirements.

An Open Mat is a special time where members can use the matted area to practice techniques, whether solo or with a partner. You can shadow box, work on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu movements, stretch, or simply relax and refocus. Open Mat is available only to members, and no drop-ins are allowed.

During Open Mat:

• You are responsible for your own safety and health.
• Be respectful of others using the mats.
• Leave the mats clean after use.
• The highest graded students are responsible for cleaning the mats afterwards.

7. A Better Experience: It attracts motivated participants who add to the positive and productive atmosphere.
